1968 Valiant
Well-Known Member
Here is a bearing from the 73 440 I am hoping to install in my Valiant. What do you think?
I am hoping to run this motor as is.
Also number one cylinder has some light rust in it due to that having an open valve while in storage. The rest are fine. I will post a pic as soon as I get the head off. The assembly turned over perfectly as soon as I undid the number one connecting rod.
Question: Is this a futile attempt or will the motor clean up the cylinder with a bit of oil at startup?
